Juan Cabral, one of the world's top commercials directors, has made an unexpected foray into music videos for veteran Argentinian alt-rock band Babasónicos, with an intoxicating mix of theatre, choreography and crime noir. And plenty of fish.The video is for the song Tajada, which refers to the Argentine dish of sliced plantains, but they never get a look in. Cabral clearly prefers sardines. He creates a powerful visual atmosphere with tightly edited shots of dancers, heavy strobing and the regular sight of silvery fish flying through the air and slapping on the studio floor.Intense and absurd, it's intriguing from start to finish. Even if you may not have a clue what's going on.
